Memory Card needs formatting: Anyone else have this problem?

We have the same problem, and thought it may be due to the size of the card. It seems that the multi-gigabyte cards are the ones that consistently give us the problem.

Should I only use sony memory card? I got "memory format error" message when I turn on power............

Guys, you have to format your micro card. It keeps failing because the card's memory storage is at maximum since previous updates do not automatically remove themselves.

I have a SanDisk Ultra 32gb Class 10 card. Oddly, the camera thinks it's full quite often. I don't worry too much about it -- just format when I get that message.

It's been a while but maybe I used the camera's format function. I am using it regularly, so it does work! Did I format with PC? Don't remember. If still an issue I'd try SCT support but should be easier than that.

There is a format button in the menu of the device. You can also format it on a windows based computer, not Mac. When the card gets full it will wrap and record over the existing data. Hope this helps.

Silao, did you format your memory card before taking photos? You have to have the memory card in the camera and format it there. This may help.

"Formatting the card will definitely speed things up over an un-formatted card."Thank you Les. I follow your logic. Also, do you know how to format a card?Thanks again!

Does the card work in another device? Some devices may not be able to use the 32GB size. Try formatting it in a windows computer.

i formatted a 64gb card as fat32 and it reads it perfectly. once 128gb micro sd cards come down in price im going to try that as well. the limitations on the cards were set because those were the largest cards at the time, and everything above those sizes generally cant be formatted in a readable format for the player without using 3rd party software (which you can get for free)

If you have not formatted the card, try doing so on your PC. If every card that you put into it has a card error message, it might be the camera.

Try another SD card, make sure it's 1gb and formatted as FAT on your computer first

I'm pretty sure THE CARD NEEDS TO BE RE-FORMATTED. Put the card in an adapter (may have come with the card, mine did) connect it to your computer and format it. If you don't know how to do any of this go to you tube and do a search for S5 memory card

Just like others have stated, you have to format the SD card. It will not overwrite.
